ABSTRACT:
A method of transferring an article carried by a first moving conveyor to a second moving conveyor and apparatus for effecting the same. The transfer is effected by lifting the article from the first conveyor, transporting it to adjacent the second conveyor, and permitting the second conveyor to receive the transported article for further conveying thereof by the second conveyor. The conveyors may utilize hooks for suspending the articles being conveyed, and the transferring operation may comprise a step of lifting the article from the hook of the first conveyor, and allowing the second conveyor to suspend the transferred article from a hook thereof in effecting the desired transfer. Structure is provided for swinging the hook of the first conveyor rearwardly to facilitate disengagement of the hook from the article being carried. In the illustrated embodiment, the hook swinging means is defined by brushes frictionally yieldably engaging the hook as it is carried along on the first conveyor.
